Answer 1

A proverb is a short sentence that people often quote, which gives advice or tells you something about life.

i) A big river indeed that cannot be crossed means making light of the difficulties and they will disappear.

ii) Don't change horses while crossing the river means do not try to choose or back a different political figure for an election after the decision has already been made or the position filled.

iii) We'll cross that bridge when come to it means an expression that means you will not worry about a possible future problem but will deal with it if it happens.
